Maybe its due to just being used to putting effort into the steering wheel to maneuver the car. But if turning is effortless with little to no resistance in the steering wheel. That means imho. A car went from sport to sporty. Sporty remains due to the point and shoot, directness of the sporty cars characteristic. Hence being called Sporty and not sport. sounds to me the Z is now 100% GT and it's lost the last of its sport. But I will test it just for shyts, giggles and knowledge.

Looser-lighter, imho is the same shyt. Lower resistance can be described by either word. Less resistance= reduction in sport characteristics. Too much resistance makes a car feel like a truck. The Z was weighted on the light side of heavy as it was but gave enormous feedback. Iho. A lil (maybe 5-7%) more heft was the only way to go.
An example of max heft for sporty driving would be a camaro SS, 5% more heft than it already has and it would feel like a truck. Mustang steering is my least favorite though its point and shootability is high. Corvettes have extremely well balanced steering feel. Again just my opinion.
Unknown, Our opinions differ on light vs tight steering but it's all good. That's exactly what these forums are for. To share our knowledge and opinions in hopes of making the Z community better. Now lets go out and enjoy our Z's!
